Ah, but there is a huge difference between buying a bag that you love and will use forever, and renting one for a few weeks because it goes with an event and outfit. Probably rent the outfit too LOL. I have a few of those designer bags, gifts from MIL. Lots of beads. Even a gucci brief case...that won't hold more than a few SHEETS of paper. Give me an expandable hold everything, or a tiny fanny pack. I have donated several of the beaded bags to charity auctions, others seem to like them.
